Question 1

What do front end 2018 BUICK ENCORE models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 102 recorded sales of the 2018 BUICK ENCORE with front end damage, the median was $3,700, from $3,075 to $4,500. That is level with the $3,700 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,925 a good price for this 2018 BUICK ENCORE?

Accepted Answer

349 comparable 2018 BUICK ENCORE listings sold at auction for a median of $3,700, spanning $3,050 to $5,600. At $3,925 this one went 6% above that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

Question 3

What does a clear-mi mean for this BUICK ENCORE?

Accepted Answer

This 2018 BUICK ENCORE was sold on a clear-mi. A clean title means no total-loss brand was recorded at the point of sale, which is unusual at salvage auctions and typically lifts the price.

Question 4

How far is this BUICK ENCORE from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in MI - BELLEVILLE. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 550 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $475-$650, which is a real part of the landed cost and one reason identical cars fetch different bids depending on where they sit. Rates are indicative market figures rather than quotes, and rise with fuel prices and in winter.

Question 5

What does "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 BUICK ENCORE. It means the vehicle started and moved under its own power during a brief check at the yard. It is not a mechanical inspection and says nothing about how far it would drive. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Question 6

Is 50,897 miles high for a 2018 BUICK ENCORE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 BUICK ENCORE listings at auction averaged 62,846 miles across 349 sales, so at 50,897 miles this one sits 19% below that. At salvage auctions mileage moves the price far less than damage does — a low-mileage car with structural damage will still sell under a higher-mileage clean one.
